Buyer's Guide for UTV Tire and Wheel Kits: Helping You Shop!

Understanding Side-by-Side Tire and Wheel Sizing Compatibility

Tire and wheel combinations must be properly matched to each other and to your UTV. Wheel diameter (measured in inches: 12", 14", 15" common for UTVs) must match the tire's designed wheel size, as you can't mount tires designed for 14" wheels onto 15" wheels. Wheel width affects tire mounting and performance. The same goes for width, as mismatching on your width can cause poor bead seating and other no-nos you definitely want to avoid.

You also need to make sure that your bolt pattern is a match when getting new tires, whether you’re running with a 4/110, 4/137, 4/156 or other configuration. If you don’t match exactly on bolt pattern, simply put, that wheel is not going to mount to the hub! Stock offset varies by machine, but pre-mounted kits typically specify offset matching stock or slight variations that don't cause clearance issues.

Finally,the load rating on wheels must handle your machine's weight plus cargo. Quality wheels specify load ratings per wheel. Make sure to always confirm that, when added up, the load rating is more than enough to handle your vehicle's weight.

UTV Tire Tread Patterns: What’s Best for You?

Pre-mounted kits pair wheels with specific tire types optimized for different terrains. All-terrain tires (medium-depth tread, moderate spacing) balance performance across varied conditions—acceptable in mud, decent on trails, comfortable on hard pack. They're jack-of-all-trades options for riders who see mixed terrain. Popular options include Fuel Gripper or similar designs with 6-ply construction, reasonable noise levels, and predictable handling. They wear reasonably well and don't specialize extremely in any condition.

If it’s muddy terrain that you’re up against on a regular basis, then you want the really deep lugs and aggressive tread patterns of mud tires. These things will absolutely churn through the slopiest mud, but be warned that they are a more exclusive type of side-by-side tire in that they don’t perform very well on harder surfaces. In other words, only invest if you’re sure that you’re going to do a lot of mudding.

Last but not least, sand tires (paddle designs with scoop-like lugs or ribbed patterns) are purpose-built for dunes and soft sand. These are also just about useless on any other surface, so make sure you’re committed to sand riding before you throw them on.

Don’t Forget About UTV Wheel Construction

First off, cast aluminum wheels (molten aluminum poured into molds) are the most affordable and lightest option for non-beadlock applications. Quality cast wheels provide adequate strength for most recreational riding. Brands like Fuel Off-Road, STI, and others use advanced casting to produce reliable wheels. They're lighter than steel, making for a nimble ride feel.

Forged wheels (aluminum mechanically formed under extreme pressure) are significantly stronger than cast wheels at similar or lighter weights. They handle impacts better without cracking and allow using thinner materia,l saving weight while maintaining strength. They cost dramatically more than cast wheels (often double or triple,) making them specialty items for serious racing or riders prioritizing ultimate strength and minimum weight. For recreational riding, quality cast wheels provide excellent value.

Beadlock wheels actually clamp those tire beads on, keeping them as stable as possible even when you’re running with lower pressures (i.e., lower PSI for mud or rock crawling, etc.). They are heavier, but these are beloved by low-pressure riders looking to keep the best possible traction while cutting down on bead separation.

UTV Tire and Wheel FAQs

Can I run larger tires without mods?

This totally depends on your stock machine specs and the size of the tire. As a general rule, most folks can go up one or two inches with minimal modifications, while making bigger jumps may require trimming, lift kits and other mods.

Do I need to rebalance pre-mounted kits after installation?

Pre-mounted kits ship balanced, but shipping can potentially knock weights loose. Best practice: check the balance after installation if you notice vibration. Have a shop verify the balance rather than assuming shipping damaged it. For most kits from quality manufacturers, balancing holds fine through shipping.

Can I mix different tire and wheel kits front and rear?

This depends on your goals and the specific combinations. The same size front and rear is typical for most UTVs. This maintains handling balance and speedometer accuracy. Staggered sizing (different front and rear diameters) changes gearing and handling. Some riders run this intentionally, but it's advanced tuning requiring an understanding of implications.
